Cinnamon Roll Apple Pie Casserole

Ingredients

- 2 cans of cinnamon roll dough (8 rolls per can)
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
- 1/2 cup cinnamon roll icing (included with the dough)
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp apple pie spice (optional)
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to allow it to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.

2. Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Dough:
- Open the cans of cinnamon roll dough and separate each roll. Reserve the icing for later use.
- Cut each roll into quarters to create smaller pieces that will bake more evenly.

3. Assemble the Casserole:
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread the quartered cinnamon roll pieces evenly across the bottom of the dish. Make sure to cover the surface completely.
- Spoon the apple pie filling evenly over the top of the cinnamon rolls.

4. Add Optional Ingredients:
- If desired, sprinkle the walnuts, pecans, ground cinnamon, apple pie spice, and pumpkin pie spice over the apple filling for added flavor and texture. Mix gently to combine.

5. Bake the Casserole:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll pieces are fully cooked and golden brown.

6. Apply the Icing:
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven.
- Warm the reserved cinnamon roll icing by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and heating for about 10-15 seconds or until pourable.
- Drizzle the warmed icing generously over the top of the hot casserole.

7. Serve Your Creation:
- Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
- For a delightful dessert experience, top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream.
